Listening.

Watch the video ‘Classroom Management and Discipline, 6-12, Part II: Dealing with Challenging, Difficult Students' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpgb6-pX1DU)

What strategies impress you? Why? Which of them do you think might be useful for you?

Now watch the video again and write down the exact words that the teacher uses to deal with the student in each case.

Read the article by Hester L. Henderson and Ronald French ‘How To Use Verbal reprimands In a Positive Manner'

From: http://faculty.virginia.edu/ape/Articles/Henderson.How-To-Use-Verbal-Reprimands-In-A-Positive-Manner.pdf

Although this article is addressed to teachers of physical education, the authors make a number of suggestions about reprimanding students that can be relevant to all teachers. What is your view of their suggestions. Write a short opinion essay of about 200 words on the following:

Should teachers always reprimand the action and never the person?

If you need some advice on writing opinion essays, you could look at

From: http://library.bcu.ac.uk/learner/writingguides/1.15.hthttp://library.bcu.ac.uk/learner/writingguides/1.15.htm

Brainstorm – work in pairs. Write 7 peculiarities of teacher voice. Discuss in pairs, then whole class discussion.

Read this story of the student. Do you think voice is really important? Why/ Why not? Write a similar paragraph about a teacher from your childhood who used their voice specifically. Swap paragraphs with another trainee and decide whether you think the teacher's use of voice was effective or not. Note: you can write about the use of voice for any purpose – praise, instructions etc. – not only reprimands.
